eyelids, and all kinds of costly stones, and all colouring tinctures.
2. i^nd there arose much godlessness, and they committed forni-
cation, and they were led astray, and became corrupt in all their
ways. 3. Semjaza taught enchantments, and root-cuttings,
'Arniaros the resolving of enchantments, Baraqijal (taught)
astrology, Kokabel the constellations, EzSqSSl the knowledge
corrupt for rd ^cTa\Aa, and then at the
end of the verse taulflta, a transliteration
of Tct fifTaWa, and appends t^s 7^s,

followed. G^ reads only rd finydXa.

Antimony. This mineral is referred
to in the following excerpt from Tert.
De Ciiltu, Fem. i. 2, in which he htys
under contribution this and the preced-
ing chapter ;
' Herbarum ingenia tra-
duxerant et incantationum vires pro-
vulgaverant et omnem curiositatem
usque ad stellarum interpretationem
designaverant, proprie et quasi peou-
liariter feminis instrumentum istud
muliebris gloriae contulerunt, lumina
lapillorum quibus monilia variantur et
circulos ex auro qiiibus brachia artantur
•—et ilium ipsum nigrum pulverem quo
oculorura exordia producuntur ' ; and in
ii. 10: 'Quodsi iidem angeli qui et
niaterias eiusmodi et illecebras detexe-
runt, ami dico et lapidum illustrium, et
operas eorum trailiderunt, et iam ipsum
calliblepliarum—tincturas— docuerunt,
ut Enoch refert.' Cf. T. Reub. 5^ « : also
Is. 3"~^* for the ornaments of women.
2. Godlessness. + ' upon the earth

> G'. 3. G' gives this verse as
follows. ' First Azazel—the ten th of the
leaders—taught (men) to make swords
and breastplates and every kind of war-
like arms, and the metals of the earth
and the gold, how they were to work
them and make them ornaments for the
women, and the silver. And he showed
'
them the art of using antimony (/.
(XTi0i(fiv for iTTt\$(tv) and beautifying
the face, and precious stones and
colouring tinctures. And the children
of men made (them) for themselves and
their daughters and transgressed and
led astray the holy ones.' This last
sentence is alien to the Book of Noah,
and belongs rather to the Book of
Jubilees and the Testament?. The
latter books represent the daughters of
men as seducing the angels by their
ornaments, &c., whereas the older
books declare that such arts were
first introduced by the fallen angels.

word is corrupt, and was originally de-
rived from "I3n on the ground of what
